In the process of creating your event mobile app, you can personalize it so it strengthens your branding and also meets the needs of your audience. You will be able to create a unique layout powered for your attendees' experience, set up the app name and icon image as well as order and label the app's tabs.
What can I customize on my app?
When it comes to the mobile app, InEvent offers you two options depending on the plan you have purchased: you can use either the InEvent App or publish your own app. The customization options will depend on which option you have chosen.
App's name and description
On the company details, you will be able to define your app's name and the description that will be displayed on the app stores.
Write the name you would like to be displayed on the app store under Short name.
Color theme
Also on the company details page, you can define the apps color theme by defining its background color, bar color, and main color:
- Background Color: It defines the background color for your app.
- Example: #FFFFFF
- Bar Color: It defines the bar color in your app.
- Example: #1576BC
- Main Color: It defines the main color of your app.
- Example: #42589C
App images
The app images can create credibility and strengthen your brand. Moreover, it is the first point of contact to start connecting with your customers.
You will be able to customize these images from these two sections:
- Company Branding: This includes main icon and the main icon (rectangular).
- Main Icon: The image uploaded as the main icon will be displayed on the login page of the mobile app, and on all communication sources, including emails, website, web app and other locations.
- Main Icon (Rectangular) - If in case you have a rectangular logo, you can upload the image here and it will replace the main icon.
Below is an example of the mobile app with the main icon displayed on the login page:
- Mobile App: This includes the store icon and splash icon images.
- Store Icon: The image you upload as the store icon is the one that will be displayed in the app stores and will also appear as the app icon on users' devices after downloading. The recommended size is 1024x1024 px.
- Splash Image: The splash image is the opening image for when you access the application. The desired size for the splash image is 1800x2400 (px by px) Side margins should be greater than or equal to 360px.
To upload your desired images, on the company level, click on the Branding > Mobile App. Then, press Edit in the upper right corner and then click on the red button with a folder icon.

Default text
